[@RevZilla]

It’s time to get your bike on the road, Motul has what you need! rvz.la/43fB8tt Have you signed up for our Rider Plus Membership yet? rvz.la/3IC9D3D Don’t miss out on the latest Moto news on Common Tread rvz.la/3vbjkmw

[@Cobbbler]

Spencer was the *perfect* pick to be the gameshow host. Looking forward to the next one!

[@christopherobrien974]

I was gonna watch this while using the bathroom, but apparently, I, like Spurgeon Dunbar, am too efficient on the toilet.

[@adamr8878]

That would be a long dump

[@Accost2u]

2 hrs of HSLS?? Heck yeah!

[@Accost2u]

Also, the speed camera thing not being run through the police is simply a cash grab by local parking authorities and won’t change anything about speeding in urban zones. You want to change people speeding in dense areas then change the road design to promote slower driving. Cameras with no criminal charges are just for increased taxation.

[@masoniain]

I'm about halfway through and I've laughed out loud more at this podcast than I ever have at any other video I have ever watched on you tube. Awesome entertainment. ❤

[@serenityknives1677]

I REALLY enjoyed this episode! Literally laughed out loud often! I love listening to you guys while riding.

[@marksmanAlex]

Enjoyed the game. Started on Spotify and then switched here. It was a bummer that we actually couldn't see Spurgeons whiteboard...

[@kawabungah20]

Really enjoyed this episode as I do all of Highside Lowside. Spencer does a great job as moderator and commentator.

[@Short_Bus]

This has to be one of the most entertaining podcasts from these guys! I'm not even done listening yet, and I have literally been laughing!

[@upgrayedd251]

I didn't expect such savagery from Spencer. This episode was a blast!

[@fireice1997]

Watching there jaws drop when they heard “1968” made me laugh way too hard because I was FOR SURE guessing a modern 675 triumph as well…

[@Dan-56]

What a great episode! When I wasn’t laughing out loud I was screaming the wrong answers at my tablet screen 🤪👍!

[@LonghillDK]

Try speeding in Denmark, 2x speed limit is three years' unconditional disqualification from driving, confiscation of the vehicle and 20 days in prison + big fine.

[@bergerniklas6647]

In switzerland you'd end up in Jail for a year including no driving for years and no car/bike with even 100kph in school zones, let allone 100mph

[@0hn0haha]

Sounds like oppressive overbearing mothering from the government.

[@xclent1975]

Thank goodness I’m in the USA

[@LambsHorseman]

And that's why European countries aren't free

[@CurlyWolf_]

That sounds pretty good actually

[@SuperShecky]

I live literally a stone's throw from the 10/405 interchange and a major street artery, and noticed street racing really ramped up since Covid. It's truly gotten pretty wild out there.

[@lovelessissimo]

Since the George Floyd protests/ defund the police?

[@SuperShecky]

@@lovelessissimo No, it blew up that summer after covid first hit. I think everyone was bored. Fireworks got a big bump in popularity, too, probably for the same reason. The fireworks died down fairly quickly, but the street racing still seems to be active, mostly very late at night. "Defunding" never really happened most places, certainly not with LAPD. They seem most active when there are enough complaints/coverage about stuff like street racing. But mostly, they seem satisfied to leave well enough alone. LASD is on a whole 'nother level, corrupt as hell, and useless, they have jurisdiction over various sections of LA.

[@skipwalker3269]

If this episode was a motorcycle- it would be a Kawasaki Eliminator 125.

[@angelo_af]

Stupid, useless, and entirely entertaining. Loved it. I listened to it while lubing my clutch cable, and found it had frayed to almost snapping! This sillyness saved my life!

[@matthewbrown7659]

1:09:30 Just wanted to point out Beretta is Italian, not American... Which isn't necessarily a mistake on the part of the trivia makers since it wasn't the correct answer, but none of them pointed it out 😄

[@KitchenBratlann]

Fines a just a tax on poor people... just make speed bumps or some other device

[@MotoDash1100]

There was one road I had to commute on, had (still has) 4 speed bumps in a 0.9 Mile stretch, speed limit posted is 30, with 1 speed bump approx. ecery 1/4 Mile this meant cagers would go 30, slam brakes, go 3 mph, repeat OR they'd go 10mph the entite way down the road. This 0.9 mile stretch had no "deaf kids at play", "slow kids at play", or "blind person" signs, it was not in a school zone, it had no playground or community park next to it, the closest school was about 3 blocks away. On my Rebel 250, I rode that entire street doing up to 35mph, on my Honda Shadow I did up to 25mph the entire way, on my KLR650, fuckin sent it doing 40-45mph the entire way. Say yes to speedbumps, and you'll be saying yes to more anti-car road design, EMBRACE THE BUMPS!!!!

[@jimrobertie8759]

Spurgeon's answer looms was Far better than silk. Silk could have meant any thing from worm farming to dying to Silk sales. Mr. Suzuki made looms that were considered the best in the word. The story is that he was inspired to build a better loom to make the weaving work his mother did easier. The fact that silk is one of the materials that can be weaved on his looms is irrelevant.

[@stimoglavi]

Cool episode, we want more trivia episodes likes this with the previous podcast guests and new ones. The trophy is one and the victor keeps on playing. Ty for the content 🙂

[@John_Ridley]

Just bought that book after listening to this podcast.

[@pattygiggie3878]

Spencer was the best part of this episode. It’s as if he was born for the game show host role!

[@mahavishnu73]

I feel a little cheated when I open up KZbin on Saturday morning and find HS/LS instead of Daily Rider

[@slowsteve3497]

Me too!

[@richardwarsinske7064]

To the best of my knowledge the first 3 cylinder Tridents were actually released in 1968, slightly before the original CB750 Honda 4. Additionally Bridgestone's were still in production in the early 1970's.

[@craigbrewer433]

For question 8, I went by what I know about Busey being the way he is now because he was in a motorcycle accident.

[@dawitfikadu5751]

Same here. Gary busey is a poster child of motorcycle accidents

[@tonylastname6468]

2. But I did get Triumph right away. It's the starter and ignition kill that gives it away.

[@love4boost]

I’m actually shocked I got the exhaust trivia wrong. I own a 21’ MT-09 and I thought it was the og FZ09 with a stock exhaust. I gotta test ride a Trident. I didn’t know they were that spicy.

[@MrPeaceful2all]

Its a gentlemen's commute bike... I record it in perfect setting, enhance clarity and reduce BG noise. You should test ride it.. Its not going to sound like that in public... only the rider hear it.

[@kish4ri]

What a banger episode lol. Not sure what the time budget is on your end, but we love the longer episodes!

[@guylr7390]

Guys that was excruciating but I watched the whole thing 😅

[@paulbarton7886]

wait till the local authorities find out how much they can make from speed cameras like here in the UK, they end up on every set of lights on quiet roads in the middle of nowhere etc

[@ikariku]

Hello, I'm Gonzalo from Chile. I started mid 2023 to follow the podcast on Spotify from the beginning. Today march 24rd I reach the episode 9 season 4 and I do the step to see you on youtube. I'm happy to know that the podcast have new season and I hope to catch up with you soon to the current chapter. Greetings from 2021! and I'll undust some Apple device to write this on his apple podcast and contribute to the show.

[@juanfarrell1088]

This is my fave. Should happen every 6 months

[@MrPeaceful2all]

The funniest HSLS for me... and Thank you Mr. Producer Chase for picking my Sound clip.. Nice pick for #2 Hint... P.s. I did took multiple tries to produce the best sound outcome for guys... thank you for the compliment.

[@slicknick0097]

Zach said “champing and the bit” and I LOVE the correct phrasing. Thank you Zach

[@kevinfox500]

Spurge abd Zach, loved the episode! I'm pne of those people with 2 dault rules. 1. Ens each day a better man than tye one I was, when I started it. 2. Learn at least 5 new things before you ebd the day. Thank you for not only habdibg me the 5 today, but almost tripping that number over the past 2 hours. Made my home PT aession fly by. And it made me feel more like myself, after 2 years of recovery, learning to walk again, and working on our bikes, while adjusting to life on one leg. Working on getting back on 2 again off road now, street next. Wife bought a Ural last weekend, just waiting for spring. Always makes for a better day when I see Revzilla in my notifications.

[@Dheeeeraj]

Huge fun to watch! Please do more and while you are at it, include a separate guest in the competition with Spencer as the host!

[@seanoconnor7846]

This was a lot of fun. I was at 4 points but blew it doubling or less than nothing on Gary Busey. I grew up in NH with a dirt bike and feel like i don't know anything compared to you guys, but i always enjoy your podcasts. Versys owner now in Colorado, enjoy riding 12 months a year. Although some months are just one or two days

[@johndwyer550]

Spencer was incredibly funny. I ended up with -1 points total.

[@idobartana2790]

I love episodes with Spencer!!

[@larryechols6606]

In Virginia, it’s generally accepted that you can safely go 5-10 mph above the posted speed limit, but it’s really dependent on which cop pulls you over. 20 mph above the posted speed limit is reckless driving.

[@jfu5222]

For question #7, I immediately thought of Iver Johnson. Wouldn't that also have been a correct answer?

[@Mean-bj8wp]

As someone who lives 8n England you get used to static cameras and where they are and they're signposted, you only need to slow down for about 50 yards then spees up. Average speed cameras really do work to help with traffic flow but you spend the whole time checking your spees not the road but cruise control fixes that. The real problem ones are tye mobile camera vans that can just pull up anywhere and screw you over and they are never at accident black spots.

[@diptenkrom]

i believe that you had Jeremiah Burton from donut on as a guest once. he is a motorcycle guy, but works in an automotive channel capacity. also liked the trivia, and also got the Suzuki answer that Spurge got from listening to Donut's "Past Gas" podcast about the history of Suzuki.

[@BigStreams_]

It’s been way too long since Spencer has been on. I’m excited for this

[@dawitfikadu5751]

Don’t be so quick to judge when Zach said Suzuki made a tractor. Maybe he was thinking of the m109r

[@AdamND701]

Zack stomping on spurge at the end.

[@jakeusurungus]

This was hilarious - killer job to the team!

[@joenegrin3667]

This was really fun. Spencer was a great choice!

[@xclent1975]

Time to get a switchable license plate hider …

[@gregorywarren2460]

This was awesome! Please do again!

[@Buddha-ci8fz]

Meh, they can't all be bangers....pretty tough to listen to but i let it play in the background while driving. Host needs practice moving the game along and personally, i think playing Lance's answers for all questions would've been better.

[@hectoralva6417]

Let's gooooo!!!

[@mattwilliams7454]

This is fun!

[@edmeda5290]

I vote for 1 trivia game per season!!!

[@noskcaj117]

Gonna need more trivia episodes

[@dorstefan]

1:57 The "Think of the children" argument is very often used by the ones in power to justify their actions. The majority of the people is suffering the consequences of the actions of a minority.

[@nealsteik9408]

Yes, I enjoyed this and would love to see a version 2

[@blainegauvin9458]

Robbet Patrick also owns a Harley dealership in California.

[@adamlanglois563]

"that's a nice bike" 😎

[@blondiejoe]

I Feel like they could get him as a guest

[@blainegauvin9458]

I think that he would do it to... it would be a great podcast.

[@hristo.bogdanov]

Love the vibes :D

[@GreenString]

Team HSLS, I’ve got a question. In the world of ADV bikes we all know lighter is better and packing light is generally better but does a lighter rider have an advantage over a heavier rider? I’m 71kg (156 lbs) if I carry say 15 kg (33lbs) of camping kit the bike is carrying the equivalent of 86kg (190lbs) which is the same as most riders, or less, with no equipment. Does “Unsprung” weight make any difference. P.S. love the Podcast. Cheers, Steve.

[@MotoDash1100]

Apples to apples, You at 150lbs, and me at 250lbs (6'5" just to clarify), if we're both riding a CRF300L Rally You would be able to ride down the trail faster than me, keeping all luggage weights equal (aside from our own bodies). Now, does this unsprung weight play much deal with riding up a hill? I'd say yes if it's steep, steeper the hill the more you'd notice it. A 250lb man going up a 45 degree incline on a 300cc may rely more on torque, trail lines, and balance than a 150lb man on a 300cc, at 150lbs you're not weighing more than the motorcycle itself, so you wouldn't _need to_ rely on technique if you can just bomb it up the hill in a straight line (in this scenario we're assuming the heavier rider wouldn't be able to go in a straight line up, but rather side-to-side up the hill) So, does being lighter weight make a difference? Eh, it increases your top speed, which is useful for straight lines with a good sight line, and useful for steep-steep hills or obstacles, but for slow technical stuff, the lighter-weight is less of a factor.

[@GreenString]

@@MotoDash1100 That’s an excellent, clear and well explained reply. Thank you. The reason I posed the question is nobody seems to talk about the rider weight and the affect it has on the bike, only the luggage (inanimate weight). It seems to me strange that a genuine way of assisting a less skilled rider & increasing performance is to lose a bit of excess body weight (if you have any, which I’d argue most of us have). Surely this has to be the cheapest upgrade you can do? Again thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

[@jimtitt3571]

​@@GreenStringSince you are talking about ADV bikes then offroad and all rules go out of the window since the heavier rider (given equal fitness) has more strength and mass to force the bike in the direction they want. I took over our teams 125 ride at the last moment due to injury and with my delicate 220lbs and entire career on big-bore bikes the thing was like a toy, got my best ever result (4th) in an international enduro. It got stuck I could literally pick it up and throw it, getting out of shape I changed course and the bike had to follow and naturally traction was no problem.

[@GreenString]

@@jimtitt3571Jim, thanks for your responses mate.This is why I posted the question. Your response is pretty much the opposite of the other reply I got. I’ve heard both theories. Anyway, I hope Revzilla debate it on a future podcast. Stay safe mate

[@jimtitt3571]

@@GreenString I guess I should have explained, a light rider has to learn to ride with finesse and use what they have, a heavier rider can do it another way, combining both finesse and strength is obviously th optimum. But dead weight on the bike is a real killer, a couple of pounds in the tank or in your luggage changes the way the whole bike feels or reacts once you push the speed up, it's just dead weight that is doing nothing to control the bike and is trying to control the rider instead. I ADV on a 450EXC and set the bike up for the camping gear so harder springs front and back and most important (once you get the suspension set up and I don't mean that soft and responsive setting half the guys go for) is balance, I load to keep the front/rear weight bias the same as stock. Watch a thousand videos and watch the front ends pushing before they crash because the 20kg on the back overpowers the front end (made extra worse by the usual ADV bikes raked out front end in the search for stability on the highway).

[@Kujkoja123]

Great idea, great rules, great host, only suggestion that I think a lot of people will agree it will be nice to have some easyer questions with more points with the right answer and also losing points with the negative so it will be much Intresting because they will be shure that they know the questions and it will be more exciting battle, plus pretty much a lot of questions they didn't know and even silver fox have doubts and we talking about people who are wey to deep in motorcycling, so you can imagine where that l leave us who watching the show, we don't stand the chance and we are losing our attention 😀

[@MaxBrauns]

This was awesome, please do another!

[@courtneymcgowan9561]

Spencer’s snarkiness is perfect for this role lol

[@teleosus1]

Great entertaining episode, thanks!

[@pmdinaz]

The way I heard it; Stone Bridge didn't translate well for the world, so it became Bridgestone.

[@Eastcoast_Rds]

Next season have Ari on !!!!!

[@slasum]

I love when inappropriate touring bikes are brought up. I would join our favorite hosts in team orange ownership if KTM would make 390 Duke GT.

[@markchristianson8178]

Here in BC canada you lose your bike and huge points and jail time and massive fine going way above the limit . Red cameras in school zones and in towns .

[@savoongasol-sgdfrr8865]

BINGO !! ... lol

[@shadowred1980]

Great stuff, enjoyed the quiz. Unsure the rest of the people in my house did, with all the wrong answers being shouted at the screen. :)

[@robertadams4415]

Zack I use Motoul chain ⛓️ paste

[@jaredreese8639]

I'm going with Hockey before the answer is revealed because Evel is from Montana

[@peterbrophy9442]

Loved Trivia - Informative! One improvement: You boys need to see the questions to stop asking what were the choices over and over again! Besides that 9/10!

[@BigStreams_]

Spoilers below for any who haven’t finished the podcast: . . But I canNOT believe they’ve stole the game from Zack like this at the end! After an incredible comeback to get beat by a question that Spurg also didn’t not get right by even the stretchiest of imaginations… we absolutely need a rematch of this. I hope we don’t have to wait till next season (this was also just a lot of fun)

[@cdub1807]

Aren't Stallone and Arnold best friends?

[@Snoozzzzzze]

From the U.K. I would advise care with enthusiasm for @the new speed cameras… Of course you think that outside a school that it’s a good idea and you are already arguing for higher penalties. Do you see how the psychology works?? In a few years every urban road is a 20 limit and 4 strikes and your licence is gone, plus it cost you a percentage of your income in points but you wanted that apparently. Aside from that is anyone else thinking M M M Max Headroom, the guest is too young to remember but he could be the mystery actor otherwise.

[@markboucher5776]

I got 7 Double - Q1 Double - Evel Double - Suzuki Single - Terminator

[@tomryner5830]

I just have to buy an Indian! Why? Carl Oscar Hedström of course. One of the founders is Swedish like moi!

[@witchdoctor6502]

wait, there are no speed cameras in US?? Well you are in for a treat... in Italy they have cameras in bright orange cover in almost every village, but not eveywhere are cameras inside, but by the time you can see it, it is too late to brake. Result is everyone going speed limit just in case. It is also pretty much only inside the villages so no one can really argue against that.

[@_Makanko_]

Outside of the villages though, we had trucks overtaking us as we rode the limit on our holiday. We adjusted quickly to some of the more suggested speed limits 😃

[@babyfknblu]

i spend a ridiculous amount of time in my life with your voices piped directly into my skull with great joy but i must say this one was a bit of a slog. i didn't much enjoy listening to y'all get your butts handed to you by an encyclopedia and there was a lot of painful stalling and repetition that slowed this episode to a crawl... there's a podcast game show on my channel here so I know how hard it is to produce one, but something about this format wasn't really hitting for me

[@jimrobertie8759]

I agree with Spurgeon lame ending

[@Nomikeal]

Too many people not knowing how/when to do legal+ speeds. Never speed in an area with large pedestrian traffic! I set my cruise control when I'm in neighborhood zones and the number of times I am passed by someone going 50+ in a 35 zone is insane! If i want to have fun on the road I go to country roads

[@briancox8422]

I took a 1981 Suzuki GS450 from New Britain CT to Ottawa Canada via the Catskills and Adirondacks in NY and back on a long weekend. 1000 plus miles. My friend did the trip next to me on a 2006 Suzuki SV650. Two rather inappropriate touring bikes, GIVE US T SHIRTS!!

[@johnruggirello5660]

Here is a suggestion for the next one. For each question phone someone to participate in that answer. People like Peter Eagan for one question, and other cyclists for other questions. Not each other.

[@jaredreese8639]

Billy Idol, I know this one

[@GreenBeats11]

Can't finish this to see who wins but you all win the award for stretching what should be a 10 minute game into a long winded and extremely painful experience. Was the word padding, stalling, and repeating supposed to be funny?

[@jaredreese8639]

[@jaredreese8639]

I was a year off but my first bike was a 1979 Honda CM400, not the A, but I heard about them. Paid $300 for it in 1995

[@jimrobertie8759]

Busey is not a crazy drunk. He is a motorcyclist that had a motorcycle accident and now he has a traumatic brain injury.

[@MotoDash1100]

1000% Agree with Spurgeon, super lame ending!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Can you read the question again? Can you read the choices again? What were the options again? hahaha

[@bamfdanger]

Speed cameras won't stop accidents, but it will make those companies a lot of money. Safety is always the excuse, never the real reason. #stop-the-overreach #more-laws-dont-make-us-safe

[@kylenisley]

i love this podcast how one easy question can last for 30 min of conversation but did not enjoy this game show type layout but have loved the season 8 so far please do not do another trivia podcast

[@RacerXdBrother]

3 hours laterrr..

[@jamesonpace726]

This trivia sux - I only got 1 right....

[@recklessted]

If you're doing 99mph in a school zone, a $500 fine should be the least of your worries. You should be facing license revocation and jail time.

[@jamesonpace726]

Ok, 5 correct, but let's don't do this again....
